One of the great things about being the editor of Optician is the chance to try out the various bits of eyewear that pass through the office.
As a cyclist I find I get through more than my fair share of specs. You would be amazed how many lenses disintegrate when faced with a daily dose of road spray and lens cleaner.
Every now and again a piece comes along that is a dream to wear and I thought I would share with you. Oakley's Radar.
I have had a fair bit of fun with this frame. In its first outing I wore the frame when I was a bouncer at my kids' school disco. I wore a DJ and this frame and the kids loved it.
As a consequence I had to wear it for the cycle home, I'm using Ortho K at the moment so all of my cycling specs are Rx'ed, it was great so it sort of stuck!
If you have any cyclists coming into your practice complaining of problems with wind/dust/bugs in the eyes on fast descents point them in the direction of this.
Sadly the frame is only on loan so my Radar love will be over.
